Author's Note - Just to let you know this was never intended beyond what was a statement
for me of what I wanted to see in the series.

The WIP it has become due to demand is beyond my control and is entirely the fault of
Flatkatsi who nurtures and pours food on my thoughts and fingers.

It's a genuine WIP - not yet completed - so please be warned. I have no idea as to its
eventual length, nor as to how it will turn out. I will try and write and post as quickly as I
can, but please be patient.

Supporting Rumors - Part one

Sam looked up from the work she was doing and frowned at him. She waited while he
appeared to be trying to catch his breath.

"I just saw the news … Jack's been shot!"

Her face blanched white at his words and she grasped the edge of the work bench to
steady herself.

"Some nut went berserk with a gun … I don't know how badly he's hurt, but he's alive"

The buzzing in her ears and the sudden narrowing of her vision threatened to overtake her
completely until she felt the edge of a stool hit the back of her legs. The command to sit
wasn't necessary, but the comforting warmth from his hand on her shoulder helped to
steady her.
